Getting Lost

Maddy, Adele, and Hyrum July 2014

Back in July our family started randomly driving. We ended up north on highway nine in Mount Vernon Washington at the Big Rock Cafe. There our family stopped to eat and get gas...

This sign was on the side of the building. My wife and I were cracking up. One of my favorite quote was from their menu. Note this is really a mini grocery, restaurant, bar, and gas station. It is in the middle of no where. So knowing that here is a paraphrase of what was in their menu. 

"We understand that our prices are more expensive than Walmart. If you don't like them, go there and stop telling us. If something is not stocked, it is because we don't have it." The sarcasm and clear frustration over years of being asked and told the same thing made me grin and landed the clear explanation into the menu. 

 There fries had to be one of my favorite fries I have ever had, not to mention their "bucket of fries" actually comes in cool mini buckets. The deep fried Oreo's are excellent, and so is their wide range of unique pizza's. If you ever get a chance, go get lost, and run into Big Rock Cafe & Grocery 14779 State Route 9, Mount Vernon, WA, 98273.
